The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of pit and fissure sealant containing cerium oxide nano particles(CNP). Used to mix with pit and fissure sealant (Concise^TM, USA). CNP was added into liquid (0- 4.0 wt%) of pit and fissure sealant. The specimens for the vickers hardness (VHN; 10 × 2 mm), Three-point flexure (FS; 2 × 2 × 25 mm) with flexure modulus (FM) were obtained from cements at 1, 7, and 14 days after storing in (37±1)℃ distilled water. All mechanical strength tests were conducted using machine (Instron 3344) with a cross-head speed of 1 mm/min. Data were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Duncan posthoc test(p<0.05). Mechanical properties of conventional pit and fissure sealant could be enhanced by addition of CNP. Three-point flexure and modulus of pit and fissure sealant containing CNP were showed a slightly higher value not significantly with the group(p>0.05). The vickers hardness values were increase significantly with incubation time(p<0.05). Results indicated that CNP can be used considered as potential reinforcing agent for increasing mechanical properties for conventional pit and fissure sealant. Therefore, it was suggest that the additional effects of CNP and research on a wide range of substances.

Zirconia has white color and physical, chemical stability, also using in high temperature materials and various industrial structural ceramics such as heat insulating materials and refractories due to their low thermal conductivity, excellent strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. If hydrophobically modified zirconia is introduced into a hydrophobic acrylate coating solution, the hardness, chemical, electrical, and optical properties will be improved due to the better dispersibility of inorganic particle in organic coating media. Thus, we introduced $-CH_3$ group through silylation reaction using either trimethylchlorosilane(TMCS) or hexamethyldisilazane(HMDZ) on zirconia surface. The $Si-CH_3$ peaks derived from TMCS and HMDZ on hydrophobically modified zirconia surface was confirmed by FT-IR ATR spectroscopy, and introduction of silicon was confirmed by FE-SEM/EDS and ICP-AES. In addition, the sedimentation rate result in acrylate monomer of the modified zirconia showed the improved dispersibility. Comparison of the sizes of a pristine and the modified zirconia particles, which were clearly measured not by the normal microscope but by particle size analysis, provided a pulverizing was occurred by physical force during the silylation process. From the BET analysis data, the specific surface area of zirconia was approximately $18m^2/g$ and did not significantly change during modification process.

우리나라 음식물 폐기물은 수분함량 및 유기물 함량이 높기 때문에 부패와 악취, 침출수의 원인이 된다. 하지만 이를 혐기 소화 처리한다면 구성성분에 따라 60-80%가 생분해되어(한국유기성폐자원학회, 2001) 친환경적으로 처리가능하고, 혐기소화 결과물로 발생한 메탄가스를 대체에너지로 사용할 수 있어 유기물을 효과적으로 처리할 수 있다. 그러나 유기성 폐기물은 계절 및 지역에 따라 구성성분의 비가 다르며, 성분 중 지방 함량이 많을 때 바이오가스 생산이 지연되어 생산효율 감소의 주된 원인이 된다(Kafle and Kim, 2013). 전국음식물 폐기물 중 지방함량이 높은 어육류의 발생량은 3차 조사(환경부, 2008)에 비해 2배 이상 증가하였고, 향후 음식 섭취의 서구화로 인한 육류 소비가 증가할 것으로 예상된다(환경부, 2013). 따라서 본 연구는 지방함량이 높은 유기물의 효율적 처리를 위해 지방산 종류에 따라 포화 불포화 지방산을 포함하는 부산물의 혐기소화 능력 및 바이오가스 생산 성능을 구명하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구 결과, 불포화 지방산 함량이 높은 수준인 부산물의 바이오가스는 629.96-749.14 mL/g VS 이며, 포화 지방산 함량이 높은 수준의 부산물은 560.18-715.43 mL/g VS 였다. 불포화 지방산 함량이 25.31%-46.26%로 많아질수록 초기 순응기간은 13일에서 25일로 증가하였고, 총 바이오가스 생산량의 90%가 생산되는 기간인 T90은 57일에서 72일로 증가하여 바이오가스 생산 속도가 감소한 것으로 판단된다. 포화 지방산은 함량이 24.10-48.74%로 증가할수록 초기 순응기간의 변화는 없었고, T90은 69일에서 62일로 감소하였다. 또한 불포화 지방산이 많은 유기물은 모두 바이오가스 생산 과정에서 2단계의 지연현상을 보였지만, 포화지방산은 함량이 증가하여도 1단계의 지연현상을 보였다. 이러한 차이는 두 지방산에 관여하는 미생물의 차이(Diana, 2007)와 불포화 지방산의 굴곡된 형태가 지방산과 미생물이 상호 작용 방식에 악영향 미치기 때문으로 판단된다(Diana, 2013). 결론적으로, 두 지방산의 소화 방식은 차이가 있으며, 불포화 지방산 함량이 많은 유기물은 탄수화물 함량이 많은 유기물을 10% 이상 혼합하여 지연상을 감소시킬수 있다(Kim, 2017). 포화 지방산 함량이 많은 유기물은 초기 지연 현상 해결을 위한 연구가 추가적으로 요구된다.

Concerned with environmental issue, a new decomposition method for CFCs that caused the destruction of ozone layer was proposed. Using thermal plasma process, CFC113 decomposed completely. In order to quantify the tendency in decomposition and recombination of CFC113, thermodynamic equilibrium calculations were performed. The calculation was conducted with CFC113, $H_2$, $O_2$ at 1 atm and 300 K~5000 K. In the experiment, products which are generated after decomposition in the plasma were examined by varying reacting gases($H_2$, $O_2$) flow rates and the changes of inside diameters of quenching tubes. Decomposition products were analyzed using Gas Chromatograph. The results are very promising with a decomposition efficiency greater than 99.99%. As to CFC113/$H_2$=1/3, conversion to CO decreased with increasing $O_2$ ratio. When CFC113/$O_2$=1/1, 1/1.5 and 1/2, conversion to CO increases above $H_2$ ratio of 3. The change of CO conversion is not sensitive to power changes. As total flow rate increased, CO conversion was slightly decreased. When the inside diameter of the quenching tube was changed from 8mm into 4mm, CO conversion was increased due to enhanced quenching rate.

As a part of assessment of the structural material for the molten salt handling system, corrosion behavior of Inconel 718, X-750, Haynes 75 and Haynes 263 alloys in the molten salt of LiCl-Li$_2$O-O$_2$was investigated in the range of temperature; $650^{\circ}C$, time; 24~168h, $Li_2O$; 3wt%, mixed gas; Ar~10%$O_2$. In the molten salt of LiCl-$Li_2O-O_2$, the order corrosion rate was Haynes 263 ＜ Haynes 75 ＜ Inconel X-750 ＜ Inconel 718. Haynes 263 alloy showed the highest corrosion resistance among the examined alloys. Corrosion products of alloys were as fellows: Haynes 75: $Cr_2O_4$, $NiFe_2O_4$, $LiNiO_2$, $Li_2NiFe_2O_4$, Inconel 718; $Cr_2O_4$, $NiFe_2O_4$, Haynes 263; $Li(Ni,Co)O_2$, $NiCr_2O_4$, $LiTiO_2$, Inconel X-750; $Cr_2O_3$, $NiFe_2O_4$,$FeNi_3$, (Al,Nb,Ti)$O_2$. Haynes 263 showed local corrosion behavior and Haynes 75, Inconel 718 and Inconel X-750 showed uniform corrosion behavior.

This study was performed to investigate the removal characteristics of heavy metals in Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) using pellet-type Zeolite-StarFish ceramics (ZSF ceramics), in which natural zeolite and starfish were mixed and calcined with wood flour. Kinetic experiment showed the removal reaction of heavy metals by ZSF ceramics reached the equilibrium status within 3 hours. The optimal calcination temperature range for removal of heavy metals was measured to be $800{\sim}1,000^{\circ}C$. The calcination time had little effect on the removal of heavy metal in AMD. The adequate dose of ceramics was shown to be 1.0~1.2 % for removal of heavy metals in AMD. High removal efficiencies of heavy metals (Al, As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) in AMD, more than 95 % except for Pb, were obtained under the condition of dose of ceramics more than 1.0 %. The removal efficiencies of heavy metals increased with increasing mixing concentration of wood flour. The adequate mixing concentration of wood flour was observed to be 10 %. The batch experimental results exhibited that the ZSF ceramics could act as an efficient ceramics for removal of heavy metals in AMD and the wood flour could provide porous ZSF ceramics with enhanced removal efficiency of heavy metals.

Solid polymer electrolyte films are prepared by ultraviolet radiation in the mixtures of an ionic liquid salt (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, $EMIBF_4$) and solvent (acetonitrile (ACN) or propylene carbonate(PC)), and an oligomer (poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate, PEGDA, 45-60 wt.%). Electrochemical properties of activated carbon supercapacitors adopting the solid polymer electrolyte films as a separator are also examined by cyclic voltammetry and impedance measurement techniques. As a result, the supercapacitor adopting the PEGDA as much as 45 wt.% exhibits a superior capacitance of $46Fg^{-1}$ at $20mVs^{-1}$. It seems that this is due to fast kinetics of ion conduction by sufficient film flexibility, which can be allowed by comparatively weak ultraviolet curing of small anount of the PEGDA.

Combustion characteristics for co-firing of biomass (Walnut Shell) as blending fuel in coal fired boiler have investigated using thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) and drop tube reactor (DTR). The results show that devolatilization and char combustion for WS occurs at lower temperature than those of existing coals and has lower activation energy value, which is resulting in higher reactivity. When the WS is blended with coal, TGA results show linear profiles depending on blending ratio for each fuel. However, DTR results exist the non-additive phenomena for blending of WS. As blending ratio of WS increase, the UBC decrease at BBR 5%, but the UBC rather increase from BBR 10% due to oxygen deficiency formed from rapid combustion of WS. This paper propose that fuel lean condition by oxygen rich lead to higher blending ratio of biomass by solving the oxygen deficiency condition.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a group of positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid with conjugated double bonds at C9,C11 and C10,C12 positions. Of possible CLA isomers, a naturally occurring CLA isomer is c9,t11-CLA which is produced from linoleic acid by linoleate isomerase from various rumen and lactic bacteria, and mushroom mycelia. Meanwhile, synthetically prepared CLA contained an equal amount of c9,t11-CLA and t10,c12-CLA isomers, and other isomers as minor constituents. CLA was firstly mentioned in 1939 during the elaidinization reaction of linoleic acid. Thereafter, CLA was not an attractant to scientists because it was not scientifically interested any more. However, since the anticarcinogenic action was driven from 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mouse skin carcinogenesis in 1987, CLA-related researches were drastically elevated, resulting in approximately 6,100 research papers in literature, so far. CLA exhibited the significant biological activities: anticarcinogenic, antidiabetic, antihypertensive, antiatherosclerotic, body-fat reducing, antioxidative, antiinflammatory, testosterone producing and other activities. Interestingly, two major CLA isomers, c9,t11-CLA and t10,c12-CLA, exhibited different biological activities. Meanwhile, t,t-CLA isomers which is minor constituent of chemically synthesized CLA from linoleic acid exhibited more potent anticarcinogenic activity in carcinogen-induced animal models and cancer cell lines than other CLA isomrs. In the present review, the significant biological activities of CLA were discussed along with historical studies of CLA since 1939.

The elution behaviors of Ni(II), Cu(II), Co(II), and Cr(II) in 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4(2-hydroxy-5-X-phenylazo)-5-pyrazolone, [Pm(2-OH)(5-X)PaPz](X=H, $CH_3$, $NO_2$, Cl) chelates have been studied by reversed phase HPLC. Thirteen metal-[Pm(2-OH)(5-X)PaPz] chelates were prepared and characterized by UV, IR, MS, and ICP spectroscopic methods. These metal-2-hydroxyarylazopyrazolone chelates were successfully separated on Novapak-$C_{18}$ column using methanol/water mixtures as a mobile phases. It was found that the chelates were eluted properly in an acceptable range of the capacity factor value($0{\leq}log\;k^{\prime}{\leq}1$). The dependence of the capacity factor(log k') on the volume fraction of water in the binary mobile phase showed a good linearity. Also, there was a good linear dependence of the capacity factor on the liquid-liquid extraction distribution ratio($D_c$) in methanol-water/n-pentadecane extraction system by the batch method. It suggested that the retention of the chelates in the reverse phase liquid chromatographic system be largely due to the solvophobic effect.
